beefybake Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) I read this late last night. Seems to confirm why there has been so little testing. The response to the Covid-19 emergency was treated in terms of a political strategy. The Public Health scientists were sidelined, and the No 10 'nudge unit' behavioural people, and academic mathematical modellers were given their head. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/01/absolutely-wrong-how-uk-coronavirus-test-strategy-unravelled Edited April 2, 2020 by beefybake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK citizens surely spend more abroad than we gain in tourism revenue. Frequently told that the Royal Family generates revenue. Tourism will be the main driver of that. I'm well aware Tourism isn't high on the list of economic drivers for Bellshill, but Edinburgh and Glasgow, for example, will make large sums from tourists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mighty 3 days they lasted. I did wonder why I had quite a few phone calls yesterday, asking if I was going back to work. They were all politely told no 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK as a whole obviously generates a lot of tourist income. The question is how much money leaves the economy due to tourism abroad. Given that a vast majority of people on any international flight I've ever been from/to the UK are British it's highly likely it's a net outward flow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a package holiday it's rare to see foreigners on a UK airliner, as most people are going / returning from holiday and I don't imagine there are travel agents in Majorca advertising 14 nights all inclusive in Margate. If it's a normal flight, i generally find there a higher number of people from the country of origin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
